While that does appear to be one way disinformation can work I don't think this is a case of it. It looks to me that he has taken elements of other people's faux-reality show stories and personalized them. Clearly his paper is a total plunge into fantasy and casts anything he has to say into question. The motivations for his actions are be bewildering to say the least.
